    Looks good John, crop held up I think except for BG noise..
    Whites are on the edge but fine.
    I might clean up the specks on the duck.

    Beautiful headshot, John! Exposure is spot on and the details look great. Here is another situation where opening up a stop would have bought you ISO 400 to cut down on the background noise (though it's still much very an OK level here)

    For a big crop the IQ held together well. Beautiful bird, love the colors and background, all compliment each other. Thank you for sharing, John.
